Pennsylvania really was a meaningless win for Hillary. It was widely reported that the demographics overwhelmingly favored her so why did she only win by 9.2%? It was believed that only 3 weeks ago, she enjoyed a 25% advantage over Obama. So what happened? Why couldn't Hillary maintain that lead when Obama began campaigning there? Having listened to them both in a state that favored Hillary overwhellmingly, why couldn't Hillary hold that big lead? Obama is what happened. She really needed that 25%, folks! Who is kidding who?

Hillary got her way. She got Obama to do a debate where she could take shots at him aided by the surprisingly anti-Obama moderators. What the hell was that all about? "Gotcha" debate right? Talk about everything but the issues. Seems to be a Hillary and Hillary supporter ploy. Focus on the word "bitter." Try to focus on Obama's race through ridiculous charges against his pastor, a pastor I might add who was favored by the Clintons when Bill was in office. Focus on stupid reasons to oppose Obama like "he only makes good speeches" or "he hates the working class" or "he doesn't wear a flag pin" or "he avoids the issues" or "he's providing ammunition to McCain" or "he's black" or "Al Sharpton" or "Farrakhan" or "he's a Muslim" or "his supporters are arrogant" or "his supporters have arrogant tones to their posts" or "his campaign is arrogant" or "he is dismissive of Hillary" or "he pats Hilalry on the head and this is condescending." These incredibly childish, meaningless, superficial reasons go on and on. This pathetic element is one of the reasons why Hillary is losing. She is supported by people who can't do better than this. She brings this element to the game, but the game has transcended her old stagnant way. The issues are what counts. Iraq. The Economy. Israel. Republicans. Civil Rights. Iran. North Korea. Africa. Mexico. Illegal Immigration. Taxes. Outsouring. Oil. Health Care. Social Security. The Deficit. Housing. Crime. Increasing Gang Warfare. Education. Abortion. Civil Unions. The Environment. Global Warming. Russia. Infrastructure. Stem Cell Research. Welfare....Hillary has shown a tendency to focus on words like "bitter" instead of these issues. She's done.

So PA represents the beginning of the end for Hillary, a candidate who began the campaign as the Clinton star player and the inevitable nominee. She ends it being exposed as a petty, delusionary "fighter", soundly rejected by the very dignified, more inspirational, more capable senator from the great state of Illinois (my home state). She will lose the majority of the remaining contests, and the superdelegates will have to do their job, which is to side with the will of the people, and support Obama.

Hillary, thanks for playing.

Somebody bump the turntable, this record is stuck.

Hillary will leave the race when she is the nominee. It might be 2008, it might be 2012.

The truth hurts, huh? There are no threads on this topic after the PA primary. The Obama road to the nomination is more clear now.

I will enjoy these last few weeks of Hillary's demise.

the road to the crushing reality that the majority of the people who vote in the general election would never support the radical idiot oprahama.

did we not get rebuked by the "powers that be" when there was
"too many" threads about poor little sad Obama"?
really he is waking up that he might loose the nomination??
Oh my gosh!!
media is asking hard questions, his buddy Rev Wright is trying to save his own ass by running his big mouth, and folks are not swooning so much anymore
his speeches are not that great after the 10000000 time of chanting, yes we can!
even MSNBC are saying they are dull and boring
Chris Mathews leg does not seem to tingle any longer when he speaks
I am begning to have faith in at least MSNBC a little bit
David Gregory's Race to the White House is sounding better!!
I am thrilled
I think Obama is sinking fast!
Go Hillary!!!
